Pricing
Free while we launch.
Clinics and locums pay nothing to use CoverShift today. After launch, clinics will pay a flat fee for each shift that’s filled, and nothing else. Before any fee applies we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice and ask you to agree.
For locums
Free.
- Find and apply for shifts, with alerts for the ones that fit

If we ever introduce a charge for locums, you’ll get 30 days’ notice and a choice.

- No charge to post shifts, or for shifts nobody fills
- No subscription
- No margin on the locum’s rate
- A monthly maximum for every clinic, so a busy month never costs more
- Staff leave, gap forecasting, repeating shifts and availability included

Australian dollars. Fees are per clinic and by calendar month, and apply only to shifts booked through CoverShift: once a clinic reaches its monthly maximum, further filled shifts that month carry no fee. GST will be added if it applies.
Questions
- When does launch end?
- We haven’t set a date. We’ll email you at least 30 days before any fee starts, and you choose whether to continue.
- What is the monthly maximum?
- The most a clinic will pay in a calendar month, however many shifts are filled. A general practice never pays more than $495, a dental clinic $249, and other clinics $49; once a clinic reaches it, further filled shifts that month are free. A month with no filled shift costs nothing. It applies to each clinic separately.
- What counts as a filled shift?
- A shift a clinic books a locum for through CoverShift. Posting shifts, applying, and shifts nobody fills stay free.
- Does the fee come out of the locum’s pay?
- No. The planned fee is charged to the clinic. The rate a clinic and locum agree is what the locum is paid.
- How is that different from an agency?
- Agencies usually add a margin to every hour a locum works. CoverShift’s planned fee is one flat amount per filled shift, whatever the rate or the length of the shift, and it stops at a monthly maximum.
